Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Dale Strong and Robert Aderholt posted statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a parent posted on Facebook complaining about the gender identity of one of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center employees. The topic was also picked up by the Libs of TikTok account.

    Media refuses to identify what religion those people are.

    Maybe later tonight I will go on Facebook and find out who complained. Give them a call at work tomorrow.

    I would like to compare the number of trans people who have had an illegal relationship with a child to a straight person.

    That’s textbook transphobia there, they are literally afraid of a trans person for no reason

    I can see why. It’s very important to teach young would-be astronauts that there are only two genders for some reason.

    I have been searching high and low for any conservative who is a good “person”, but I cannot find even one. Not one. I think it’s possible that every conservative alive today is pure evil.

    You’ve got a lot of Republicans in congress that pretend to be dumb. I think Tuberville is the genuine article.

    If Trump wins, we’re going to have a new Lavender Scare.

    U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and

    Of course the traitor Tom Tube was going to be one of them.

    I’m surprised that Katie “Craziest Bitch in the Target Parking Lot” Britt didn’t join this particular lynch mob, though. She must be trying to lie low until everyone forgets about her SOTU madness…

      I didn’t get to see that until Jon Stewart showed clips. I read about it before that and thought, “it can’t possibly be worse than Bobby Jindal a few years ago.” Oh my god was it worse. Why on Earth did they choose her?

            You’re very welcome! I’ve seen her do comedy before so I already knew she’s great at it even though it’s not her main thing, but without overselling it, this is probably the funniest I’ve ever seen her and the resemblance is eerie too! 11/10 if you ask me 😁❤️

              Scarlett’s eyes seem too normal. For a better resemblance, she needs to have that look in her eyes that says “I just killed and skinned the family dog out of jealousy and left the body somewhere you’ll find it”

                Sometimes you gotta take a little artistic license to make sure the parody is funnier than the original 🤷

                Go too far on the “unhinged” track and you risk it veering from comedy to horror. Like the GOP itself.

    “I don’t hate these people, man,” Yarbrough said.

    Oh, but you do, buddy. You do.
